Teach Me Dirty

So many friends, and I value you all so much. Maria, Kirsteen, Dom, Marie, Sue, Jo, Paula, Siobhan, Azalea, Shweta,Tom, Matti, Rachel… Thank you all.

My Dirty Girls, our group is amazing, and you all make me smile so much. I’m so pleased that you joined me on the Teach Me Dirty journey, offering such amazing feedback and encouragement. You are all incredible. It means the world. Thank you!

My awesome street team, thanks for your tireless enthusiasm. Your dedication is fantastic, and very much appreciated. Thank you all!

I am blessed to have the support of so many wonderful reviewers and bloggers in this community. Thank you all, so very much. I’m so very grateful for everything you do. <3



I couldn’t write the acknowledgements for Teach Me Dirty without acknowledging my own teachers, who really didn’t teach me dirty, at all, not in real life, but who really did do me proud through high school. An extra special shout out to my English and Art teachers, who I had for the whole five years I was there. I was always such an… imaginative strange teenager, and the creative arts meant so much to my weird little soul. So much of what you taught me has stayed with me, genuinely, and I will always be grateful for that. Thank you.



Jon, thanks as always for the support and the endless encouragement, and not least for putting up with months of nothing but book talk and general insanity. I admire your patience, and I’m grateful for the way you both put up with my crap and inspire me to be the very best I can be. I wouldn’t be where I am now without you. Love you. <3

Mum, Dad, Nan, and of course Brad, who I mentioned earlier. There aren’t really any words for how grateful I am to have been born with you in my corner. My entire life has been shaped by your kindness, loyalty and belief. You let me dream, and find my own path, and supported me all the way. I love you all, so very much.

A special thanks to Dad for coming up with the name Much Arlock. It worked a treat.?
